Juniors (5 to 8 years old)
Our junior sessions for children aged 5 to 8 are a fun and safe introduction to judo.
At this age, we focus on movement, balance, coordination, listening skills and learning how to fall safely. Children are introduced to basic judo techniques through structured games, simple drills and partner exercises.
The aim is to help young children build confidence while enjoying physical activity in a controlled and supportive environment.

Children are encouraged to progress through the grading system and develop confidence in their own ability.

Adults & Teens
Our teens and adults sessions are suitable for complete beginners, returning judoka and experienced players.
Training includes technical judo, fitness, groundwork, standing work, combinations, counters and randori. Sessions are structured but friendly, allowing each player to train at a level that suits their ability and goals.
Judo is a great way to improve strength, fitness, mobility and confidence. It also offers a practical and challenging form of self-defence, while keeping the values of respect and control at the centre of training.
What adults and teens can expect
- Technical coaching
- Fitness and conditioning
- Groundwork and standing techniques
- Randori and practical application
- Grading preparation
- Competition preparation for those interested
- Friendly training partners and experienced support
You do not need to be fit before starting. Judo helps you build fitness over time.
Monthly Open Mat Randory
Our monthly Open Mat Randori session takes place on the first Monday of each month. We often welcome judoka from neighbouring clubs, giving everyone the chance to practise randori with different training partners.
The session runs from 8:00pm to 9:30pm and is best suited to teens and adults who already train in senior or adult classes.
